Kingdom Monera
Prokaryotes are relatively simple life forms which do not have specialised
structures (organelles) in their cells. The genetic material is a ring of
DNA that is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane and there may also be other
little rings of DNA (plasmids) that float around in the cytoplasm.
Bacteria and Blue-green Algae (Cyanophytes) are prokaryotes and together
they constitute the Kingdom Monera. All other life forms have their DNA
enclosed in a cell nucleus and they are called Eukaryotes.
